Tho Science of 1rypnotisrn.

The science of hypnotism, not long ago
sneered at and ignored by medical men,
has secured at last an astonishing recog
milton from them. The medical thinkers
Of France are now considering it as one
Of their most reliable means of producing
results that are out Of the reach of their
ordinary remedies. They lately made in
Paris number of very successful expert
ments upon children from the house of
refuge, some of whom we're supposed to
be irreclaimably bad. They were hypnot-
lied, and while in this condition they
were enjoined to obey their teachers, to
study, to keep themselves clean and to
stop swearing and lying, habits which the
refuge wardens had asserted could not be
abandoned by their deprayed charges.
The influence of the hypnotism lasted
for months, and the boys that had been
influenced were changed during that time
from troublesome prisoners to pupils
of most exemplary conduct. One Of the
boys who was hypnotized had been leader
among his companions in all sorts Of un.
ruly and immoral behavior. The change
in him was so radical after the hypnotism
that it frightened both himself and his
companions, and having reasoned about
his conversion he absolutely refused to
submit to the mesmeric passes again when
tile physicians wanted to repeat the expert
ment.-Physician IN Globe-Democrat.

PROGRESSIVE RAILROADING.
The Atlantic Coast Lines Vestibuled
Trains to Florida.

The general excellence of the Atlantic
Coast Line railway system is recognized
everywhere and thoroughly appreciated
by the travelling public. 1t is one of the
very best equipped and best managed
railroads in the country, and this fact is
a source of infinite qualification 10 all of
us along its line who have watched its
progressive and liberal management, and
its gradual but sure onward march to its
present prosperity, and eminent position
in railroad circles. s7'
The Coast Line never tires in its efforts
to improve and to- expedite travel, while
never, losing sight of the convenience
and comforts of its patrons. We learn
that, to meet the demands of the increas.
ing tourist and pleasure seeking travel to
Florida, and to keep pace with the luxn-
r;ous hotels provided for their comfort,
arrangements have been perfected for the
running Of Pullman vestibule trains
between New York and Florida, begin.
ming about January 1st, 1888.
These trains are so connected by
means of vestibules that they constitute
one continuous car, rendered flexible al
the points of connection by means of
folded rubber diaphragms. Through
this ingenious device the entire train is
made to form series of apartments, so
that the traveller may pass from one end
of it to the other, precisely as he passes
from one room to another in his own
house. These vestibules are formed by
enclosing the platform--they are as
elegantly finished as any part of the car
--carpeted so as to entirely conceal the
points of connection between the Joined
cars, and illuminated by means of electric
lights depending from the ceilings, whose
rays fall through cut glass .paneled doors
full upon the steps.
Many of the advantages of the vesti
bule train are obvious. 1t relieves the
traveller, in passing from one part of the
train to another, from the annoyance of
the whirlwind on the platform, caused
by the rapid motion of the train, as also
from the cold of the open air in winter,
from the dust in summer, and from the
storms at all seasons. It forms an easy
connection with the dining room, the
smoking. room, the library.
Trains of these cars, composed exclu-
sively of drawiDg.rooms, containing
library, reading, smoking rooms and
buffet dining cars, in which meals will
be served en- route, and sleeping-cars
fitted with all the comforts, conveniences
and luxuries, are now being built by the
Pullman Palace Car Company for this
service, which will undoubtedly form the
finest railway trains in the world.

Depends on How You Do 1t.


"Wcll, which are really the more injuri-
Gus, cigars or cigarettes?" asked pretty
girl of u benannelcd member of the Bel
mont Tennis club, at the clubs court yes
terday afternoon.
"I'll show you," said he, and turning,
he called to friend: "Ned, toss mo n
cigar" Then he took out fine cambrc
linen handkerchief, and blew Whit of
smoke through the cobweb texture. "Oh,
look how black it is, f" said the young lady
for whose sake the experiment was being
made.
"Now looll," said the club man. He
lighted the cigar and pulled till he got q
good volume of smoke, which LIE poured
through the mcshes of the handkerchief
again. A scarcely perceptible stain was
left on its whiteness.
"Well, that proves it," said the fair in
vestigator. "My! just think of that hor-
rid black stuff all settling in your lungs!"
"Wait one moment" said the expert
menter, and he repeated the experiment
with the opposite result.
"Nyell, how is that?' was the aston
ished question.
"Why, it is simply due to the difference
in the way you place your lips when you
lmpel the smoke through the linen. Hold
them tight and blow hard, and it leaves Il
stain upon them, and barely force the
smoke through and you get almost no
trace. ."-Philadelphia News.

Herr Most is Missing,

Herr Most, the New York Anarchist,
who is always thirsting for somebody's
blood and who was recently released
from the Penitentiary after serving a
term of six months, made speech in
New York on Sunday, in which he
howled himself hoarse. Among other
things he said:
thereafter our calls for meetings will
be given in secret. The hirelings of the
capitalistic press and the dogs of the
police shall no longer attend our meet.

in our secret councils! Hitherto we

our enemies a chance.

As soon as Most's incendiary utteran-
ces were published, District Attorney
MARITIME held conference with his assis-
tants, and enough law was found to make
Most a fit subject for the grand jury to
investigate. But Most was too fast for
them, and fled with much the same cour-
age that distinguished his conduct when
he was dragged out from under the bed
of his sweetheart about nine months ago.

will contain from eight hundred to one

size will cost fifteen cents dozen, and
the larger size thirty.six cents dozen.
If the message written upon one of these
cylinders is not worth preserving, it can
be taken off by sharp knife, which cuts
fine shading from the surface of the
phonogram. Edison estimates that the
same cylinder can be used twelve times.
ENDLESS REPETITION.
One of the most curious sensations of
my experience with the phonograph was
the feeling that was dealing with
another person who might be at the other
end of the line. Thus, when I wished
the phonograph to repeat, I had only to
touch spring, when it went back ten,
fifty or one hundred words at will but I
never did so without being tempted to
say: excuse me, but will you please
say that over again." 1t is very much
the same feeling that one has at the telo.
phone when it is impossible to make out
what is said and apologies must be made
to the person at the other end of the line,
who may be getting very angry at the
delay. So far as repetition is concerned,
there seem to be no limit to the number
of times which the phonograph will
repeat the same sentence. Edison has
had a page of "Nicholas Nickleby" read
out and has had the phonograph repeat
it fifty:four times. The last reading was
as distinct and satisfactory as the first.
The programme is still to offer the first

this output can be doubled should the
demand warrant it.

For books and long pieces of music,
cylinder four inches in diameter andtten

BATHTUBs ON WHEELS.
A Paris Luxury Suggested for Introduo'
tion Into New York.


tsTalking about new enterprises spring
ing up here" said O gentleman to o re.
porter, "why there are thousands Of
schemes yet untried that you will be hear
ing Of some time. Now there is the Pa
risian bath, for instance. Do you know
how the Parisians pursue the practice
said to be next to godliness?"
Having received the reporters admis'
sion Of innocence as to the subject, the
gentleman continued: "Well, to begin
with, exceedingly few houses in Paris,
except the big hotels, have bathrooms.
You might conclude from this statement
that the Parisians are not particularly
fond of bathing. But they are, and now
will tell you how they do it. We will
suppose you are Partisan living COM
fortably in suite. Moreover we will
suppose You take q morning bath every
day in the year. Now all that is necessary
for you to do is to leave your order at
bathing establishment and man will
come ut the specified hour with
shining, roomy tub and deposit it
near your bed. Then he will bring
in copper cylinder-shaped oven contain
ing what they call peignoir, which is
thus kept warm until you put it on after
stepping out Of the tub. The man covers
the bottom and sides Of the tub with
sheet, and then fills the tub with water
Of the proper temperature, which he
brings with him in his cart, a peculiar
looking vehicle, by the way, resembling
about as much as anything O gayly
painted oblong boiler on wheels. Having
thus prepared the bath, he adds one finish
ing stroke to it by dropping into the
steaming water a considerable quantity OF
bathing powder, which serves as q skin
tonic, and at the same time emits lovely
perfume, suggesting resinous odors Of the
woods. The man now withdraws for an
hour and leaves you to enjoy your de-
Icious ablutions.
stYou emerge from the bath In half on
hour feeling like on entirely new man.
It seems as though the exhilarating per-
fume Of the water has entered your very
soul. You step lightly out Of the tub and
slip on the warm peignoir as though it
were linen duster, which 1t slightly re-
sembles, and by means Of which you do
not get to shivering while you are drying
yourself.
s'That is the way the Parisians bathe.
This kind Of bath costs three francs (G0
cents in Paris. In New York it should
not cost more than half that sum. I
think it q very good system to introduce
in this city, and have had somo idea
myself of starting an establishment Of
the kind. 1t possesses superior advan-
tages for the people who do not live in
houses where there are bathrooms. And
tho nodioino1 hanaf3tc nf thia Dovydpr
stirred in the water are q great thing in
addition to the fragrant quality it i'm
parts. And then another advantage is
that the tub is brought to you and every
thing is prepared. You can step out Of
bed in the morning into your tub and have
splendid scrub before dressing. For the
reasons I have mentioned am sanguine
that the Partisan style Of bathing would
prove very popular in New York. New
